Ds J. E. Purvis (B.A. 1893), has been appointed Assistant to the Professor of Chemistry (Professor Liveing).

Ds J. Lupton (First Class Classical Tripos 1891-1892), and Ds J. H. B. Masterman (First Class Historical Tripos 1893), formerly an Editor of the Eagle, have been elected to Naden Divinity Studentships.

The College has presented the Rev Dr William Hart (B.A. 1867), Head-master of Heversham Grammar School, to the Rectory of Black Notley, Essex, vacant by the death of the Rev T. Overton B.D., who had held the benefice since 1856.

A stained glass window has been placed in Staplehurst Church to the memory of Dr Reyner, well known in the College as a Senior Fellow and the Senior Bursar for many years ending 1877, and subsequently for 16 years Rector of Staplehurst. The window, which is in the nave on the north side of the Church and close to the pulpit, consists of two lights and contains figures of St Luke and St John. The cost, over 70, was defrayed by the subscriptions of the parishioners and College friends of Dr Reyner. A service of dedication was held in the church on Monday evening, January 8. Notwithstanding the severity of the weather a very considerable congregation assembled to testify their respect to the late Rector. A sermon was preached by Dr Watson from 1 Chron. xxix. 14, 15; and appropriate prayers and collects were said by the present Rector, the Rev J. S. Chamberlain, standing along with the choir in front of the window. The window is by Kempe, and is much admired, the colours being subdued and blending well together. Professor Mayor supplied a suitable Latin inscription.

Barlow (B.A. 1885), formerly Naden Divinity Student of the College and Jeremie Prizeman of the University, who last year became curate-in-charge of Workington, Yorks. Unfortunately Mr Barlow is not able at present definitely to accept the appointment, as there is some uncertainty about his health. He has been advised to take two months for
